@Quantumcat can you confirm that the dumped bootroms are the same?
you can check them with godmode9 virtual memory -> boot9.bin -> sha256

Are the speakers any good? They look so easily covered and just... not as good as the New 3DS (XL)'s speakers.
Not sure yet, I'll take it with me on my lunch time walk and have a play with it. I'll edit this reply.

Edit: I was in a noisy area and could hear nothing, but I could feel the vibrations in the back. Doesn't mean it is worse, as I can't hear the N3DSXL in the same noisy environment either. But the tingling in my fingers from the speakers felt weird.

It's out here in New Zealand and in Australia where OP is from.
You're a kiwi? You guys are like three hours ahead of me. You could have taken an early lunch and still beaten me to it! :)
Edit: sorry, two hours.

Human, actually~

Typically we're two hours ahead of you guys but if I remember correctly, Australia's west coast is three hours behind us.

Well, it seems my little brother bought a New 2DS XL so I'll get to play with one this evening. I'm perfectly happy with my New 3DS XL though, personally. I hope he lets me hack it, just because. And he bought Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (I still need to finish it - I've had the Wii version since it came out and have barely played it), so I hope he likes it.

So i assume you used the "new" 11.4 .firm file from the guide?
Also congratulations on been first to hack the n3ds xl!
Yep. Treated it as a New 3DS. I am not the first though :-( (maybe first for a legally obtained retail console).

I think he's trying to reference New Zealand Story here.
Well, actually New Zealanders are called kiwis here. It's slang, like they'd call us (and we call ourselves) aussies. And we both call Americans yanks and the English, poms. Maybe @TCJJ doesn't like the term, sorry! :P

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
